IPv6 commit breaks communication between frontend and backend on same machine.

Description

I updated git to latest master head revision yesterday (6be90d3ca5fdf0fe66a8d6380887d70785d297e2, Jun 10) and my frontend cannot communicate with my backend (same machine). Using divide and conquer I determined the problem to be contained within 8bf5157fdb844dc72e65bfc419e343b6764b58ba. My machine has two NIC ports on it but I only use one of them. I have tried putting eth0 "down" using ifconfig and the problem persists.

As requested I will attach both the frontend and backend with -v socket,network,extra as well as the output of ifconfig -a and the output of "netstat -antu".

Yes, I am still experiencing this issue. Just updated to: v0.25pre-3767-gff6487b git trunk/head/master and tried enabling ipv6. Mythfrontend still complains about not being able to access the backend. I've worked around this issue by using this switch I found while googling:

Greg, if you type: sysctl -a 2>/dev/null | grep bindv6only, do you find it
set to 1 ? If so, its likely set in some file under /etc/sysctl.d/ and I'd
suggest retesting with it set to 0. And if successful, what distribution
are you running?

Thanks Bill, I tested with both ipv4 and ipv6 enabled. First, I deleted the disableipv6.conf file in sysctl.d directory and rebooted. Upon reboot, I verified that I had IPv6 addresses bound to my ethernet adapters (as well as IPv4 addresses). When attempting to run myth, the frontend could not communicate with the backend. I reinstated the disabledipv6.conf file (using the method described eariler in the ticket), rebooted again and myth works fine. I've mentioned previously in this ticket that I am running AMD64 version of Debian.

beirdo, I'm not sure if this is what you are asking but when I run mythtv-setup on my main machine (frontend/backend combo) both "Local Backend" and "Master Backend" are set to 192.168.0.10. It is the only backend I have in my system. I don't feel that I have an "odd setup" but something must be off with my setup because it seems that more people should be experiencing this issue. If these aren't the values you were asking about please give me more detail where I can find them.
